Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units Value Units My Answers 9 Part B Why does the cars mass not matter? Since both the change in kinetic energy and the work done by fricsion are proporsional to the mass mass cancels out of the equation Since the wok done by friction does not depend on mass Since the change in kinesc energy and the work done by friction do not depend on mass My Aneners Ge 8 9/6

Explanation / Answer

6.23) a) 1/2 m v2 = mu * m g * d

v2 = 0.35 * 9.8 * 86 * 2

v = sqrt [589.96]

v = 24.3 m/s

b) since both change in KE and WD by friction are propotional , the mass cancels out in the equation
